TRANSYLVANIA COFFEE FESTIVAL 2025

Latest stop: TRANSYLVANIA COFFEE FESTIVAL
We’re incredibly grateful to have taken part in this first edition, held right in the heart of Cluj-Napoca, a city with a growing love for specialty coffee and a community that’s as passionate as it is welcoming. It felt truly special to see such an event take shape here, bringing together so many people who care deeply about craft, quality, and connection.
Some of the most memorable highlights from the weekend included:
Dana from #MeronOradea winning the Latte Art Throwdown, a well-deserved recognition of skill and focus; a full Sunday recording sprint with eight new episodes of @subextrasbymeron captured on-site. And, true to Cluj tradition, the final day slowly winding down under a quiet, steady rain.
